That would require planning beyond reserving a shelter. HA! Seriously, last time we just put stuff out and let people graze as they wanted. That was kind of my plan this time. Even if you don't want to eat, feel free to just pop by if you have time.

Oh how I wish I could be there! My house and all my friends are still in Brentwood (and surrounding areas), but we're living in Seattle right now (it's dark and rainy, I don't recommend it!)

Have fun!

LOL. It actually was sunny here today for a change, for the dwindling daylight hours we had. The sun comes up late and goes down early this time of year, though.

Have fun!

No rain date plans...shelter is reserved for that date. Most parks in the area (of those I called) only reserve through October and then start again in the spring. We will be there regardless of weather (perhaps huddling under the picnic pavilion and shivering LOL) unless it is a monsoon because we've put the word out to enough people that I can't call it off on account of weather. If the weather is yucky and you don't want to brave it, we'll do this again next year probably in April/May and in Oct!

Let's hope the weather holds!
